That’s a given, but what did Cher ever do to you besides make you dance? And make you feel?

I’m calling my lawyer.

Your lawyer is Anthony Scaramucci.

Goddammit.

May I continue, or do I have to keep modifying reality around you?

Go on.

Thank you. So, Enthusiasts: let’s do guys!

Do you even hear yourself?

SHUT UP! Best song with a man’s name in the title is the question. Unlike the gynonymically-named songs, there’s not many where the name is strictly the dude’s name, so this time around there can be words other than the name in the title, such as Bad, Bad Leroy Brown or Careful With The Axe, Eugene. HOWEVER, we are still keeping the restriction on Dead songs, so no Casey Jones.

First person to suggest Hey Jude gets banned. Not even kidding. I would like to see someone try to argue for Jimmy Olson’s Blues by the Spin Doctors, though. Also: Dylan’s Joey is not making the finals because it’s not even the best song named Joey. (That would be the one by Concrete Blonde.)

Without thinking about it, I was going to say Johnny Ryall after seeing Paul Revere. But after ReadingDoonesbury’s post I’ll go with Duran which was from an album named for a guy.
And since this is a GD related site how about honorable mention for Kid Charlemagne.

Sean Flynn was the son of Errol Flynn. He left Hollywood of the 1960’s to become a wartime photojournalist. Things were slow in 1967 Vietnam so he bolted to cover the Six-Day War in Israel. After a week of hell, he went back to Vietnam. In 1970, he was traveling with some special forces in Cambodia when he was captured and never heard from again.
